I am trying to add webhook subscriptions for TestFlight build processing completion and TestFlight beta build review completion events. These were showcased in the WWDC25 session: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/324/ Currently, I am able to receive webhook events for distribution updates, and the corresponding checkmark option is available in the App Store Connect portal. However, there is no checkmark option in the portal to subscribe to beta build-related events. In the video, there is clearly a checkmark option for the beta review event subscription (at 4:55). The current documentation also does not mention beta processing and beta review event subscriptions. It only lists the event types that are visible in the web portal: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/webhookeventtype When I try to add the BUILD_BETA_DETAIL_EXTERNAL_BETA_STATE_UPDATED event (as shown in the video at 6:10) via the PATCH API request, I get the below error. "errors": [ { "id": "****-****-****-****-*********3851", "status": 409, "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.TYPE", "title": "An attribute in the provided entity has the wrong type", "detail": "'BUILD_BETA_DETAIL_EXTERNAL_BETA_STATE_UPDATED' is not a valid value for the attribute 'eventTypes/3'.", "expectedValues": [ "APP_STORE_VERSION_APP_VERSION_STATE_UPDATED", "BETA_FEEDBACK_CRASH_SUBMISSION_CREATED", "BETA_FEEDBACK_SCREENSHOT_SUBMISSION_CREATED" ], "source": { "pointer": "/data/attributes/eventTypes/3" } } ] } The App Store Connect web portal also does not provide a checkmark option for subscribing to this event type. My questions are: Are the TestFlight build processing completion and beta build review completion webhook events coming soon, or do they already exist? Are there any other ways to get beta build events apart from polling?

Hi everyone, I currently have two apps stuck in TestFlight beta review for over 30 days without any progress: App ID: 6749024874 — Case ID: 102673603146 App ID: 6749025418 — Case ID: 102673604516 I contacted Apple Support, but they told me this situation is “normal.” From my experience, TestFlight reviews usually take a day or two, sometimes up to a week, but not this long. Has anyone else experienced such long delays with TestFlight beta reviews? Is there anything I should do (cancel and resubmit, escalate further, or just wait)? I would also like to request support from the App Review team to look into these case IDs and provide clarification. Thank you.

Is it ok to maintain dual langauge text on a mobile app bottom navigation tile when it cannot be localized. Will the app be acceptable from a publishing point of view?

We have been developing our game “Ailem Olur Musun” for 8 months and submitted it to the App Store. However, our application was rejected under Guideline 4.1 – Copycats. Our game is a completely original project. Its story, visuals, logo, and design were all created from scratch by our team members. The main character of the game is a delivery worker, and the drawing we made for this character is used as the game’s symbol. Despite this, our application was rejected on the grounds that it was considered to be “imitating another popular game.” This game has also been published on the Play Store and has achieved a significant number of downloads and reviews. How can I best explain this to the review team?

I’m working on an iOS app and need help with ASO to find the best keywords for title, subtitle, description, and keyword field. Can anyone suggest free tools that show keyword volume, difficulty, and competitor keywords?

We are having external testers use TestFlight through a public link. Without any prior notice, all of our TestFlight builds suddenly expired, and even newly uploaded builds encounter errors before being released. We were able to resolve the issue twice through inquiries, but the same situation occurred again immediately. We are now making a third inquiry, but could you please advise us on how to avoid this problem?

We are currently using Swift to develop our Apple application, and we are considering switching to a cross-platform solution as part of our technical evaluation. Recently, React Native (RN) has been revitalized, and it supports application hot updates, allowing us to update the app without going through the app store release process. Additionally, we have conducted some market research and found that many apps are using RN and leveraging its hot update functionality for app updates. I would like to know whether RN's hot update feature is compliant with Apple's policies and if there is any risk of the app being removed from the App Store. I hope to receive some guidance on this matter. Please do not delete this post—this is just a help-seeking post from an iOS developer without any malicious intent.

Since the App Store only allows adding one native app, I want to disable my “Mac Catalyst” version app to enable its “Designed for iPad” version. How can I achieve this?

Trying to upload an iOS26 app archive with Xcode 26 beta 7 and getting ITMS-90717: Invalid large app icon, meaning my app is not eligible for TestFlight testing. My App contains an IconComposer .icon asset, so I'm not sure what it's complaining about. I'm not seeing anything in the release notes about this, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

I am a CTO and iOS app developer implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in our application. Our app now requires 2FA for all user accounts. We need guidance on how to provide test access to the App Store Review team. Since the login factors are device binding and Biometrics or password, a tester from your review team will never be able to fulfill the device binding requirement since the account has not been setup on their device. We cannot disable 2FA for some test accounts, as suggested in other forum posts, as this would introduce a major security risk for our application. What is the reccomended approach here? What information should we include in the "App Review Information" section to help reviewers access our app?

I can't accept a TestFlight invitation. I seemed to have gotten myself into some situation that I have been unable to resolve. Here's what I did: Added my work Apple Account to TestFlight. Received an email for TestFlight invitation. Opened link in browser to view invitation code. Entered that code on a device that was signed into a different Apple Account (my personal account on my personal iPhone). The app did install on my personal iPhone, but now I can't accept the invite on my test device, which is signed into the Apple Account that is actually part of the TestFlight group in App Store Connect. I have tried deleting/re-adding/re-inviting my work Apple Account to TestFlight several times. On my personal iPhone, I have tapped on "Stop Testing" in the TestFlight app and deleted the app I installed there. But I still cannot accept the invite on the test device signed into my work account. When I enter the invite code to redeem, it says: This invitation cannot be accepted because your Apple Account, , has already been asso... The full message is actually truncated, so do not know what it says after "asso...". Is there any way to get out of this situation and accept the invite on the test device using my work Apple Account?

A 1.69% App Store conversion rate could be due to factors like unclear value proposition, unoptimized screenshots, or lack of strong reviews. Improving visuals, refining your app description, and gathering positive ratings can help boost installs.

Hi everyone, I’m relatively new to the App Store and currently navigating a review situation. I’d really appreciate any advice or perspective. Here’s the timeline: Aug 11: I submitted version 1.3.0 of my app (App ID: 6742771536). Aug 12: The status moved from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review.” Since then, it has remained in In Review for about 13 working days without further updates. In the past, my submissions have typically moved through review more quickly, so I’m wondering if there’s anything I might be overlooking. I do have a pre-order release scheduled for Sept 2, 2025, so I want to make sure everything is on track. ❓ My questions: -Is it normal for some apps to remain in “In Review” for this long? My previous version was approved within a few hours. -Should I cancel the review and resubmit? I saw folks here mentioned that is a bad idea. -Could there be any metadata or review note details I should double-check? -For newer developers, is this something that occasionally just happens as part of the process? Thanks in advance for any guidance — I’d love to learn from the experience of others here.

I'm having issues with app review and need to change my App Privacy settings for location. Changing my settings worked fine for 'Precise location', but attempting any change to 'Coarse Location' results in an error: 'An error has occurred. Try again later.' This means I am unable to get my app past App Review, and this is going to cost me a lot of missed financial opportunities. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I mentioned the error in a submission to App Review, but the response was unhelpful.

Hello, I need some help. I’m creating an application, but in fact it is just an instance of a web page built with WordPress and Elementor. When submitting it for review, the following adjustment is required: 4.2.2 Design: Minimum Functionality App example: https://applink.com.br/appfortrade

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I need this data to understand my app's performance and user engagement. Thank you!
